Chapter 5

Sam looked at Scott. "What why? How? I dont get it!"

"I'm sorry Samantha. And again it isn't clear. I want you to come back. With your parents. So we can figure out a good time for the other tests." Scott answered.

"A good time? What the heck is wrong with you? I have freakin' cancer!" She paniced. She wanted Jake. She wanted someone! She looked out the window at Darrell. She wanted Darrell! Scott tried to calm her down.

"Its just a sign of it. Ok the headaches? It could mean anything. But in the blood tests. Samantha. Its just a starting point saying. Samantha. Its hard to say at this point. That is why we need those other tests. Jessica gave me the number of your house. If you like I can call and update them on everything."

Sam shook her head. She didn't want to do anything. She just wanted to go home. Be held by Jake. But she couldn't. She felt the tears well up in her eyes. She shook her head and ran out of the room. She ran outside where Darrell was parked. He must've saw her because he came out and rushed to her.

"Sam? Whats wrong what happened?" He asked. "Come on lets go in the car darling."

He led her to the car. Sam's eyes were blurry from the tears in her eyes. They havent falled down her face yet.

"Sammy whats going on? What did the doctor say? Tell me Sam." Darrell peeled off the on to the road and sped down the streets. Sam just shook her head. Which was hurting again. How could this happen?

"He just wants to do more tests." She wanted to leave out the rest. For now. She swallowed the next batch of tears to the back of her throaht and left it like that. She couldn't tell anybody yet. If she told her family, they would send her to San Fransico. If she told Jake, he would get all protective and come home with out graduating. He has already treatened to come. What could she do? She looked towards Darrell. If she told him. He would tell Jake. Jake would tell her Dad and her Dad would tell her Aunt to pick Sam up. Lose-lose situation. It wasn't even for sure right? So basicly she wasn't liying right?

"Sammy. Whats going on?" Darrell once again asked her.

"Nothing. Everythings fine. The docotor said everything was fine." She lied. She's gotten better at it over the years. She just had to think about everything. Jake was coming home this weekend for his birthday. So maybe she'll have it figured out by then.When they got back to the ranch Sam said thank-you to Darrell and gave him a quick hug. Telling him that she would see him tomorrow at school.

"Ok, Sammy." He replied. Sam smiled and went into the house.

"I'm home!" She called out. She heard somebody mumble something from upstairs. She went and saw Bryanna holding Cody on the rocking chair in his room. Cody looked like he was crying. Bryanna looked up and put her fingure to her mouth so that Sam didnt' wake him up. Sam nodded and went to her own room. She opened her backpack and started the homework for tonight. She had math, history and english. She did everything but math when Bryanna came into the room.

"Hi, honey." She said and sat down on Sam's bed.

"Hey." Sam replied starting on her math. "Whats up with Cody?"

"He is sick. High fever." She sighed. Sam gave her an apologetic look then returned to her studies. Bryanna said something about making dinner and left the room.

Jake.Ely has just signed in. The computer told her. Great news. Usually she would be happy to talk to Jake. But this time she was nervous. When people are told that they may have cancer, they actually tell people so that it can be fixed. But Sam didnt' know what to do. In fact she had to idea.

Jake.Ely: What did the doctor say?

Sam sighed. Here goes nothing...

Sam.A.F: He said that everything was fine. He might want to do some more tests later. But everythings ok. She hated lying so much. She just wanted to tell him the truth. She felt the tears fall down her face.

Jake.Ely: Thats great Sam! So everythings ok? I really have to go tho Babe. I'll see you this weekend. Bye.

And that was it. Jake was coming this weekend for his birthday. Which Sam didn't know why. It was the middle of December. Jake couldn't get that time away from school so he decided to come up a bit after. Christmas vacation was soon. She heard her Gram call her down for dinner. This whole thing would have to wait for now.
